A year ago last November she was taken with the cough that developed into consumption and occasioned her death. Before the coming of the sickness that shadowed her life, Carrie was a bright, vivacious girl with sunny nature. She was the light and life of her home. Her winning qualities drew around her a large circle of friends. This was evidenced by the throng attending her funeral.-a throng that crowded the Congregational church clear back into the lecture room. Everything was done to save her in her struggle that tender love and sympathy could do, but the fatal disease that had her in its grip was not to be balked. She died with firm faith that God would take care of her. A half sister, Mrs. Hamilton, and a half brother, Charles, besides her mother and father and a wide circle of friends mourn her death. Her funeral occurred July 14 at the Congregational church, Rev. S. Shepherd officiating. The order of Rebeckahs, of which she was a member, had charge of the service at the grave.
